Corgis

This manicure was harder than I thought, something about drawing animals is just way more difficult than cartoon characters.

Jasmine is my red headed corgi, Belle is the black tri. They are the sweetest little dogs!

The polish is by Icing called Tickled Pink, it has a pink shimmer to it and the color is slightly lighter than the one where I'm holding the bottle.

I used this shot of Belle to draw her (she rode in the car to In and Out drive thru lol she was sooooo happy), but I used a different picture for Jazzy. At the end I drew a final black line at Belle's neck and it blended into her cute little black nose and ruined her entire face, imo. There was no going back so she's stuck looking like a schnauzer, I think?

I drew Jazzy on my pinky first and she looked like a french bulldog so I tried a different approach on my middle finger, didn't like it as much and tried the cuter look for my index. Anyway enough babbling!

Nina: Thank you so much! I forgot about Ein, I never watched Cowboy Bebop but it was playing a lot when we used to leave adult swim on and every time the corgi was running around I was pointing at the tv lol.

Rachel: Thank you, I think half my hard drive is pictures of them!

Mary: Thank you! ♥ <-- :D:D

Grace: Thank you! :)

Clockwork: Thank you! :D

Velvet: Thanks so much, I imagined Jim Carrey as the Mask when his eyes popped out lol!

Lacquer Laine: Thank you! ☺

Alexlyndra: Thank you, you are so sweet. :)

Olivia C : Thank you! :)

Olivia: That picture is pretty old haven't been to in and out in several months aaaaaah. I thought the middle finger was actually the most realistic one but I fell in love with the cartoony pinky!

This year's Spring BRIGHTS Collection by OPI offers 6 new creme shades and a silver shatter. These colors are themed with the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie, On Stranger Tides. Also in the collection is Silver Shatter, which I forgot to include in the above photo.

Skull & Glossbones 3 coats. Light beigey grey, I have already worn this twice as a full manicure. It looked a bit blah in the bottle but after wearing it I just love it.

These first 2 photos I'm wearing a normal basecoat. You can see my ridges quite clearly. The photos below this I buffed my nails to smooth my ridges.

Barre My Soul 3 coats is a very natural looking sheer beige.

Here this looks much better with my ridges buffed down a bit. I don't like to buff my nails too often and if you're like me, you might want to try using a ridgefiller basecoat instead of buffing.

This is the above shade, Barre My Soul with 1 coat of Don't Touch My Tutu! the milky white creme on my tips.

I wanted to see if Don't Touch My Tutu! would be opaque enough to cover my natural smile line. As you can see I have different shaped nails on my left hand so french manicures can look odd on me unless I can create an artificial smile li…
